1885 Map of Salt Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

The Wasatch Mountains dominate this reconnaissance-scale survey, anchoring a landscape where the high peaks of the Uinta National Forest meet the growing industrial and agricultural valleys of the late nineteenth century. The settlement pattern follows the geography of water, with towns like Lehi City, American Fork, and Pleasant Grove established along the eastern shores of Utah Lake. To the north, Salt Lake City and Fort Douglas serve as the region's urban and military core, flanked by the Great Salt Lake and smaller bodies such as Hot Spring Lake.
